Hey guys, I am selling my S10 in hopes of picking up a third gen. i have been looking for a while and think I found what I want. I am located in Northern Cali so I figured I would ask other Californians if this is a good deal or not:

1987 Iroc Camaro. 5.7 liter engine. Auto Tranny. T-tops. Car has 139,000 miles on it but the engine was recently rebuilt. Body/Paint are in great shape. Interior has minor damage (couple tears in seats, a stain or two on the carpet, those kind of things). The only aftermarket part on the vehicle is a aftermarket computer chip that the owner installed after the motor was rebuilt. Asking 2,700 dollars.

What do you all think of this deal??? Good price or not? Also what are some basic third gen problems I should look for when I go to inspect the car in person? All help is greatly appreciated!!!

 

sounds like a good deal 2 me, is the 350 the orignal but rebuilt or a drop in replacement?

 

the engine is the original that has been rebuilt

 

do they have paperwork on the rebuild. just asking cause when i bought my 89 iroc 350 it was supposedly "rebuilt" but when i tore into it 2 months later it was all orginal factory bearings n ****, only had 20k left on the bearings from over reving and a bad ring.

 

I havent seen any proof of the rebuild yet. I will definatley ask for some when I see the car in person though.

 

that sounds like a good deal good thing to do is run the rpo codes know exactly what we are dealing with here

 

if it the whit 87 iroc on craigs list its pretty clean u betta jump on it quick wont last same thing with the black 89 5.7 iroc hard top hes askin 4500 bur u can pick it up for 4 grand or less really clean and he has the reciept on the motor 500 or so miles on it gm crate motor 5.7 ho i think or zz 3 in it

 

Well I went down and checked it out today....and now I am the proud owner of a 87 Iroc. The car is very nice and I am extremely happy with it.

 

Congrats !! Throw some pictures up here for us to take a look...

yea! pics and some first impressions of your newly bought beauty.

 

well its dark and raining right now so pics will have to wait till tomorrow.

As for first impressions I am very happy with the car. It is the oldest car I have owned and the largest engine I have owned so I am loving the muscle car feeling (that I have never experienced before). I am surprised at how well the car turns/handles. acceleration/speed is nothing INSANE but it will put you back into your seet so I am pleased with that. Having 4 wheel disk is cool. I really like leaving two tire marks when I burn out, so thats a plus.

The only thing that really needs some work is the interior. I will be hitting that up soon. But like I said, overall I am very happy with this camaro.

 

Well congradulations on your new car. Sorry if a seemed a little demanding for some pics. holy crap I need to get off my computer and go do something!
